Re: Pasting Examples

You just use Control | printscreen to grab an image. It saves it to the location of your choice and you just point the post attach a file , to the location. It's then added to the bottom of your post. As long as it is under 100k in size the shot will be included.

Re: Pasting Examples

You can attach a picture or another file to a post: between the area where you compose your post or reply, there is a box labeled "Attach a file - 100k Max.". The list of allowed extensions is displayed below it. If you want to attach a large file, zipping it often gets it below 100 KB.

Re: Pasting Examples

Hans,

thanks for the input......I am aware of the attach option in the far left posting column....I think its the second or third reference in your response that deals with pasting a word or excel example in the main or center body of the post. By the way Excellent site...one of the best!!

Re: Pasting Examples

Microsoft Office Picture Manager has fewer editing features than Microsoft Photo Editor, but you can use it to crop pictures and to resize them, so it's a suitable tool to edit screenshots for the Lounge. However, if you want to add something, such as drawing a circle around a button or label to highlight it, you need Paint or a more sophisticated image editing program.

Re: Pasting Examples

For the benefit of the original poster, when the graphics are screen prints of application images, the "portable network graphics" (*.png) format may be the best choice for savng the graphic in Paint. And, since I'm constrained at work, I use Paint to create all the graphics I post; with practice it does everything I need except shrink the picture, for which I use IrfanView.

Re: Pasting Examples

If all else fails, you can grab a screen shot with Alt+Printscreen and paste it into a blank Word doc. The standard Word format will compress the image to fit under 100K. However, this is less convenient for readers because they have to download and open the document "out of context," so it isn't the best choice.
